Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A.
The "medium" (e.g. soil) or organism (e.g. fish) affected by the pollutant or contaminant is called a receptor, whilst a sink is a chemical medium or species that retains and interacts with the pollutant. Neither of them are explanations for each other, as they are definitions.
